Getting Started

For the safety of our students, we require all volunteers who work directly with our students to be fingerprinted. You can pick-up a fingerprinting card from our front office and make an appointment with a local police station. Currently, the Waldorf stations are offering this service, although the Leonardtown office will soon be able to help. The charge is $54, however, KCA will reimburse you for the cost.

Who Should I Contact?

If you’re interested in volunteering in your child’s classroom, simply contact the teacher directly for a list of opportunities.

Keeping Track

After volunteering, please enter your hours in the volunteer binder at the front desk. This is vital to ensure you receive proper credit for your efforts.
